Episode Description

THE OMEN FRANCHISE MARATHON

The only film to my knowledge to be solely made because of the novelty of it's release date - having come out 06/06/06; what a hell of a time.

Rhys and Kane essentially rewatch the original Omen, with a new fresh coat of paint that honestly suits the franchise far far less than the intentional grittiness of the first dive into the family of Damien Thorn. We do have Julia Stiles, Liev Shreiber and David Thewlis to accompany this new coat of paint, but is it enough?
